Capelets

This tutorial on Prudent Baby sent me off on a capelet bender. I don't wear them, just force them off on other people*.

(*person: my nephew. His turned out to be black velvet with maroon lining in time for halloween. Or spontaneous bouts of magic. Phantom of the Opera. Hobbit. Whatev.)

I'm still a little unsatisfied and am considering manufacturing wacky ones with vintage fabric and crazy buttons and military detailing and contrasting linings. For adult like peeps like myself, who maybe need a fall wardrobe pick me up.

Awesome examples of same from etsy: photos click through to their listings.
